Tons of Pelosi posts...and not one of us can vote!!

[jodymarie aimee]

ditto the TV pundits..I find it a bit of a squirrel when we have so many huge issues to get prepared for....whatever your opinion on Speaker is....we got no vote, folks...nobody is listening to us !! But us....

[JonLP24]

1. I agree

It is not my call.

[Bucky]

2. Really, what do people think this is? A place for discussion?!

Here we are fighting for our democracy, these fools think their opinions matter just because they're citizens! What a bunch of maroons!!

[OnDoutside]

5. +1000 Unbelievable OP, to be fair.....

[Fullduplexxx]

19. It depends on the discussion

[Mike Nelson]

3. Yeah...

… let them vote and let's end this story!

[murielm99]

4. Thanks for pointing this out.

Sometimes it seems that some of our members have no basic understanding of civics.

[hlthe2b]

8. No, most of us know QUITE well, but when Seth Moulton and Tim Ryan are leading this to move

party to the right, we have EVERY right to let them know we will not stand for it!

I hope this effort was one of many:

AMESBURY, Mass. — The push by Rep. Seth Moulton against House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's bid to become speaker took center stage on Monday night at a town hall in his district, where constituents shouted and interrupted Moulton and one another in a lively debate over the future of the chamber.

Moulton (D-Mass.) and some of his constituents say the midterm elections show that it’s time for new leadership in the House, while his critics on Monday night called his opposition to Pelosi a product of sexism and ageism.

SNIP
The Monday night protest at Moulton’s town hall was organized by artist Isa Leshko and Bambi Snodgrass, director of Freedom North Shore, a women’s group that came out of the Women’s March. A longtime progressive, Leshko said Monday night’s protest was her first time organizing. She told Moulton his call for new leadership felt like a “slap in the face” to women, and pointed out that the letter calling for new House leadership that surfaced on Monday included signatures from only two female lawmakers.

“How can you say you have this huge outpouring of female support for new leadership?” Leshko asked.

13. We can primary the 16 DINOs that signed the anti-Pelosi letter, Dems internal shit-stirrers.

.

They're seem in it to shakedown the Dem party and run interference for whomever they answer to.

Hopefully, they won't be a thorn like that Ted Cruz faction the Republicans have to deal with.

[pintobean]

6. That's usually the case.

This is a discussion forum. We discuss issues and give our opinions.

[hlthe2b]

7. True, but we have ability to let those 16, especially those who are trying to move party to right

that we will not stand for it. They represent US!

[ehrnst]

9. Democratic reps select their leader, and this is as it should be.

Outside of the day to day workings of Congress, we have no way of judging who is and isn't effective at the job.

You might as well say that we get NO SAY in how legislation is worded, or what it's called, because that is also what we elect reps to do that job.

[pwb]

10. Exactly. Our selection is done.

Those who we elected now vote however they feel.

[hlthe2b]

11. wake up call to those who think this is not our issue. We have no DIRECT vote, but...

HERE is your civics lesson!~

14. I'm willing to bet that almost nobody who's stated an opinion has provided it to their House Rep.

[hlthe2b]

16. Well, you lost that bet! Both I and DUer eleny have given Perlmutter an earful daily since

he announced his withdrawal of support for Pelosi. Daily.

17. I just moved out of Ryan's district and have met him numerous times...worked on his campaign.

I called his office and told them he needs to knock this shit off. Marcia Fudge is not my Congresswoman...called her office and told them the same thing.

[hlthe2b]

18. DUer Blaukraut attended the MA town hall protesting Seth Moulton and Green_line

is joining the group that has announced plans to target him in a primary

[Demsrule86]

15. I called Tim Ryan who used to be my Congressman and Marcia Fudge who is my Congresswoman

and told them both...you risk the majority with these games and I will make it my business to vote against you in a primary that will surely follow. Neither could be speaker as a speaker must come from a blue blue district. Ohio is purple at best.
